The school gifted test doesn't measure IQ. It's an approximation that looks for one's ability to think outside the box. Many, many kids get in because teachers don't know the difference between aptitude and IQ. I think Hurricane and P_rush are correct. Kids as low as 135 can have problems adapting to the real word, but you don't start seeing the really bad quirks until 160. I feel like 130-160 folks kind of have their feet in both worlds, so to speak. Every kid I taught, and the few people I actually know that I suspect are above 160 have very obvious deficiencies in "common sense." They are super talented in whichever field catches their interest, though. It's almost like they have tunnel vision.
